I thought that it may be good to hear the background of everyone that has accepted an offer; GPA, GRE, POI, what schools interviewed you, and where you have relinquished other offers. May help us all keep a handle on what is happening next.

Considering offers do not have to be accepted until April 15th, this can be a place for people to post all offers as they come, correct? I think that's the main thing people are concerned with now; hearing back from programs after their interviews. It would also be nice if you got wait-listed somewhere, to be able to gauge the chance that the individual receiving the initial offer will turn it down.

I received an offer from Antioch New England's PsyD program, plus a fellowship for $5k for the first two years. Not much, but also nothing to sneeze at!

I am also interviewing at Widener, Roosevelt, Wright Institute, & Pacific. I was rejected by Loyola Maryland and am still waiting to hear from PGSP-Stanford, University of Denver, Rutgers, and GWU.

My undergrad GPA (including some post-bac psych courses I took) was 3.4. My GREs (old system) are 780 verbal, 690 math, 5.5 analytical writing, and 670 psych subject test. I am a non-traditional student in that I was a Film major undergrad, spent 5+ years working as a documentary editor before making the switch, taking psych courses, working in a mother-infant communication lab as a research assistant and at a community mental health center as well. Feel free to PM me with any questions!

EDIT: Rejected from University of Denver, and got an interview date for GWU.

Congrats! PRETTY SURE you were in my group for the group interview at Antioch! I was the girl from VA that couldn't believe you drive over that bridge in NY everyday

Sam Houston State University Clinical Psych Ph.D. program. DCT called this morning with admissions offer and stipend. I will most likely be accepting the offer because I loved the program! If anyone else has heard from them, feel free to PM me so we can chat! Good luck everyone! Oh, my GPA is 3.8 UG and 4.0 Grad. and GRE was not that great, 157v and 151q; 720 psych with a little over a year of research experience that I think helped me out.

If you all don't mind, I will post some of them that I have been able to confirm outside of this thread as well. I won't just post things that I find on GradCafe, but ones where I have talked to someone.

I'm probably over thinking this, but...if you receive an offer over the phone and don't want to accept on the spot (even though you'll most likely accept that offer, but just need a couple of days to process), what do you say to the POI or DCT on that phone conversation? If you say something wrong/don't show enough enthusiasm about the offer, can they withdraw it (this would be before they send out formal written offer). thanks

I would say something along the lines of "I'm so happy to be offered admission to this program; it's been one of my top choices since I started the application process. I look forward to reviewing the formal written offer once it arrives."

I said something very similar to the above post, and told the DCT to expect an email from me indicating that I will accept the offer soon, but that this program has been my top choice from the beginning and I also believe it is the best fit for me. He did say that he would need to know if I planned on rejecting so they could offer the spot to the next person, but I have every intention to accept. I just want to see the official offer and to take a few days to breathe and inform my mentor.

Message for specifics. Also, if you know anything about either of these programs, please message me as well. I'm torn between the two.

I don't know specifics about the programs, but I have heard GREAT things about the one at Madison. And I can tell you that Madison is a WONDERFUL town. Close to Chicago, quite a bit cheaper, but really a great place to live.

That's great to hear; I appreciate the insight. I was quite impressed by both the faculty and current graduate students during my visit.

A former colleague of mine trained under Dr. Ingram and I know Dr. Ilardi, both have very (research) productive labs that foster balanced training of clinicians. I'm not sure how much of Lawrence you were able to see if/when you visited, but it's a cute college town with a bunch of mom & pop dining options (including at least one brewery that makes some quality beers). In my travels out there I never got to catch a basketball game, but it is one of the best places to catch a game in the country.

I was just accepted to Oklahoma State University for the Counseling Psychology, Ph.D program as a post-Bachelors .

I interviewed with University of California Santa Barbara (Counseling Psychology, Ph.D) but I am still waiting to hear back from them.
I have 2 up-coming interviews with Teachers College and University of Missouri Kansas City, both for Counseling Psychology, Ph.D.

Same here. Would the person accepted to U of L Clinical Psych who is intending to accept also PM me the POI, or if this information is received by someone who requested can you let me know? I am still waiting to hear back from them and would like to gauge where I stand.

Received a phone call today from DCT of Drexel University with a verbal offer, he will be writing an official letter soon with funding information. I will most likely accept the offer, as it has been my top choice from the beginning.

Congrats on Drexel!!

Do you know when they will notify people who interviewed on 2/17? I am wondering if it is today... my anxiety is killing me!

Fallen, if I am not mistaken, those that were recently accepted, applied and interviewed for the JD/PhD track (and I think there was only one interview weekend for the track), so there may be hope for all of us waiting to hear from other labs that interviewed both weekends. Fingers crossed.
